Hi welcome to hcm
I understand your query and concern.
Back pain could be related to spinal diseases which should be treated in multimodal approach.I advise you to get an MRI spine,complete blood picture,ESR,Urine culture immediately to confirm the diagnosis.In resistant cases you may also need to get lumbar puncture and CSF analysis for exact etiology.You may need to use course of antibiotics like Cephalosporins,Analgesics,NSAID's immediately by consulting your doctor.You may also need to use Pregabalin twice daily for 3 months by consulting your neurosurgeon. Avoid excess strain.You can practice Yoga and Physiotherapy by consulting your Physiotherapist.Diet rich in fruits,dates,Vegetable salads,dry fruits,proteins are helpful in your case.Bed rest for 3 months will be helpful.Water bed for sleeping with cushions is helpful.If still symptoms persist you may need surgical approach.Consult your surgeon for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you
